“We’re painted as monsters…And do you know what the people say?Plucked from the garden of wretched beliefsI offer a rose and smile with harmless teethThen slick back my hair.You know the Devil’s in there alone in the garden.Like lumbering giants in a shameful parade,We came to ruin all and make a rotten trade.” – Them Crooked Vultures

Vultures are part of nature, which even kids get,

But most people wouldn’t want one as a pet.

Most people don’t find vultures particularly appealing

And watching them work can give one a sickened feeling.

No one relishes the idea of seeing vultures circle overhead,

Which strongly suggests the circle-ee will shortly be dead.

(At least vultures don’t start dismembering you before you decease,

Which vulture capitalists happily do their rate of return to increase.)
